Nobody needs a self-indulgent 2 minute intro and a 40 second outro. Nobody needs an unnecessary verse.

This is mostly true, most of the songs I see mentioned here are good for being short. Black korea though, I always felt could be longer, there's more to say about those scheming hanguks.

The Firm - Five Minutes to Flush (Intro)

Yeah that's a mistake, here's the short song I meant called Untouchable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmofgXFBIr0

Another one I wish was longer is O.C.'s Psalm 23, his dedication to Big L on Bon Appetit.

Black korea though, I always felt could be longer, there's more to say about those scheming hanguks.

Are you fucking retarded. Notice how there is no question mark there.
